Duo

WISSEL&LYTTON … WISSEL&NIES … the MirrorUnit … TRAGOVI (tracks)

WISSEL&LYTTON (D/UK)

Paul Lytton, percussion
GW,(prepared) alto- and tenorsax
Georg Wissel refers himself also as Sculptor of
compressed air.Beneath extended saxophonostic
playing-technics uses just as well miscellaneous
implements for the modification of his instruments‘
voice. Paul Lytton is playing his 'table', whereupon he
arranges and animates a plethora of diligent selected
soundgenerators from percussion and household. In this
aspect Wissel & Lytton's set-up gives the impression of an (acoustic) manufactory.
In the course of their Improvisations the listener becomes witnesses of an open
associative artistic process, in which the two create a lively and well
differenciated noise-sound-art-music. As a duo Wissel and Lytton are working
together since 2006. They have been performing a.o. at „RingRing“ international
new music festival 2012 in Belgrade, Serbia.

WISSEL&NIES (D) – Corpus Callosum

'electro sapiens' Joker Nies, bended sound devices,
Buchla and custom made synthesizers
GW (prepared) altosax
Due to a kind of an invisible corpus callosum both,
Wissel and Nies, are capable to produce sounds
referring as well to pure frequency and sound
structures, as to a communicative and narrative approach
including bizar melodies. Clichés relating on the
emotional or technical character of their instruments
are getting obsolete. Beside lot's of club-gigs
WISSEL&NIES performed at Kölner Musiknacht and Audio Art Festival in Kraków, Poland
CDs: 'Corpus Callosum', Acheulian Handaxe, New York, 2013
'Live at Bunkier Sztuky', Audiomat, Kraków, 2013
